Hours after the drama, a Twitter account dedicated to protecting Trump’s supporters named “The Lion’s Guard” was launched… and soon disabled.

“An informal civilian organization dedicated to protecting the safety and security of innocent, peaceful Trump supporters from violent Far-Left agitators,” read the account’s bio. The page was deleted mere hours after its creation – after a threat was allegedly made against the creator’s child.
“Someone just DM'd me a photo of my child's school front accompanied by a ‘I’m coming for him’ message. I’m closing this account until safe,” read a tweet from the account.
In the four hours the account was active, it had amassed almost 500 followers and quite a reaction online.
